Get Tested! Know your HIV Status! Slogans we hear a lot from the ambitious treatment target “90-90-90” introduced by UNAIDS in 2013. It means 90% of people who are HIV infected will be diagnosed, 90% of people who are diagnosed will be on antiretroviral treatment and 90% of those who receive antiretroviral will be virally suppressed by 2020. If we reach this goal the end of AIDS by 2030 is within reach. The concept 90-90-90 is intended to galvanise national and global action to control HIV and end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. One crucial part of this plan is bringing HIV treatment to all who need it. (Photo: Christian Heuss, Swiss TPH)

At the upcoming MMS/ aidsfocus.ch Conference we will discuss best practices, challenges and lessons learnt to reach the treatment target “90-90-90” by 2020. We will analyse the situation in Switzerland and will draw conclusions from and for sub-Saharan Africa.

The conference is jointly organised by Aids-Hilfe Schweiz Aids Hilfe Bern and Medicus Mundi Switzerland. It is part of a long-term cooperation agreement with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC.
